My day started at 2am, when Natalie woke with a “croupy” cough. She was crying a little but I was able to just pat her back and she went right to sleep. I hate that Mark will be dealing with a sick child in my absence today, but what can you do? That is the “unexpected” joy of having children, right?
I never went back to sleep after waking at 2am. I had planned to get up around 3am or so to prepare for Victoria’s surgery today. She is having tubes put in her ears and I have to have her at the hospital at 5:15am. I think I will be a zombie by noon!
As you begin your day, I’m asking that you say a little prayer for Victoria. Her surgery will begin around 7am. It should be a short surgery, but I do imagine it may last longer than a routine procedure. Victoria’s ear canals are so narrow that her doctor has informed me that it will be “difficult.” Pray for God to be with Carter Bryars, her ENT, as he performs her surgery. Pray that all will go smoothly and that Victoria will remain in stable condition throughout the entire procedure.
I will post an update later today to let you know her progress!
Prayin’, my sister!
